Our Board

Rosslyn Academy is governed and administered in accordance with the existing Constitution as approved by the Owner Agencies, which are the Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM), the Eastern Mennonite Mission (EMM), and the International Mission Board (IMB) of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Board assumes responsibility for the institutional, educational, financial and other policies concerning the operation of the school.

The Board of Governors believes in and is committed to governing Rosslyn Academy as a Christian School in an international setting seeking to provide high quality education meeting USA school accreditation for American schools and explicitly espousing and promoting Christian values, principles and faith.

The Board consists of up to eight members, plus the school’s Superintendent, who is an ex-officio member. Each owner agency appoints two members (and one alternate) to the Board. There is also a PTF-nominated At-large member and one other At-large member. The Board has about six meetings per year, as well as a planning retreat at the beginning of the school year.
